You can actually saute them in a little bit of butter and top with a little bit of fresh thyme or mint0

I absolutely love just cutting them into strips and eating them with a little salt. It's one of my favorite snacks ever.
This is what i was going to say, but with lemon too with the salt.0 -
Cucumber sandwiches0

when I use cukes I will slice them and an onion thinly and put them in white vinegar and let them set for a couple of hours and then eat them. I also slice real thin and use on a sandwich.0

Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad...just had it for supper tonight with steak and sweet corn.
a few cucumbers (peeled or not, your choice)
a couple garden fresh tomatos
1 chopped up avocado
a few thin slices red onion
zest and juice of a lime
a few chopped up basil leaves (or parsley or cilantro)
a few sprinkles of curry powder
a few dashed of hot sauce (whatever you have on hand but I use sriracha)
a few grinds of black pepper
dash of sea salt
Mix it all together and refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour before serving so all the flavors blend.
- Another favorite is cucumber, bacon, avocado & hummus sandwiches on a really good whole grain bread. You can also add a nice thick slice of tomato or some lettuce. Sometimes in place of the hummus I make a homemade pesto mayo spread.
Pesto Mayo is 2 parts pesto to one part mayo, mix it up and spread it on.
-Cukes in Sour Cream w/ fresh dill- as simple as that, I add in a little black pepper and a splash of vinegar. Slice the cukes very thin, on a mandolin if you have one. You can make a really large batch of these as they keep pretty well. Great with burgers, salmon on the grill, grilled bbq'd chicken, you name it!0 -
Try using cucumber slices instead of crackers. My favorite toppings are goat cheese, palmetto cheese and hummus. I try to eat one perisian cucumber a day, small and sweet!0

I love cucumbers. I could eat them every day. In salads on toast. Just by themselves with a sprinkle of salt or Mrs Dash. YUM.0

Sunomono
4T sugar
7T white vinegar
2 cucumbers, seeded, then salted and squeezed
Soak in the dressing for a couple of hours.
Add bean sprouts and sesame seeds (a drizzle of sesame chili oil is also nice) to slightly strained cucumbers...0 -
I ran into this by accident packing up my lunch for work. I had some skinless chicken breasts that I marinated in italian dressing and then baked - ran outta time so I chunked them, put them in a tupperware container with the marinade and a couple cucumbers also chunked. It was FABULOUS - quick, easy, packs well for lunches.0
